Website Feedback

Submitted by neurotica on Sat, 07/27/2013 - 3:55pm

Welcome to the new Maryland Deathfest website! As you may have already noticed, we are still under construction. However, we would love to hear feedback from fest fans and patrons. Feel free to post here and let us know what you think about the new site. What do you like? What do you not like? Are there any additional features that you would like to see? Obviously, we won't be able to please everyone, but we are working hard to make sure this website will be a useful supplement to your MDF experience. Your questions, comments, and opinions are valuable to us, and the site can only get better with your input!!

In the meantime, here are a few features we are currently working on that will be deployed in the near future:

an integrated fest schedule that can be uploaded into your phone or mobile device - no more paper schedules or wondering what band is playing when!

downloadable interactive area map for the fest grounds and the surrounding areas for easy access in your phone or mobile device.

when the website changed hosts it logged everybody out, it should be working fine now how about when we reply to a thread the subject is the topic title instead of the first 5 words of our post (unless you fill in the subject field of course)

Log in to your account--it should automatically direct you to your "profile" page (if it does not, click on the "My Account" link at the bottom of the page). Near the top of that page you should see a tab that says "Edit", and from there, you should be able to change your username to whatever you like, add a photo, etc.

Hey guys, first post here, let it be a helpful one! Neurotica helped me out with this yesterday. In the settings, the first line that says username, "the one that has your email address in it", just change it there, and then click save on the bottom, and your done. Hope that helps!

if you want to make this website more effective, you must maintain good color combination so, it's good to the eyes. Your site color was nice just add more content or sidebar contents. But so far, so great! good idea!

Thanks for the input! The design and color scheme will be changing over the next few weeks, and I'm going to make it as easy to read as possible. As to sidebar content, we will be adding a few things (Facebook and Twitter feeds), but because this is a fully responsive website (ie, set up to be viewed on any size device), we need to keep sidebar content to a minimum, since those items tend to cause problems when being viewed on smaller devices like phones. Expect to see some changes here in they very near future!

There will be printed schedules at the door just like the past few years, or if you want to print it yourself, feel free to print a copy of the schedule once it is finalized in April and posted on the website--the schedule that will appear on the site will be printable to those who choose to do so. We understand not everyone has a cell phone and you can be assured you will have access to a schedule.

From what I know, some printed schedules will be available at the door, as has been the case for the past few years. Once the schedule is released in April, you can either print it yourself at home, or download it into your calendar on your mobile device--which ever is easiest for you. The downloadable version has its advantages, as you can set your calendar to remind you when certain bands are going on, but if you prefer paper, no one will stop you from printing your own and bringing it with you.
